Morocco vows to bid for another World Cup after missing out on 2026

The soccer showpiece will return to the U.S. for the first time since 1994 after gaining 134 votes, while Morocco got 65

Morocco have promised to bid for another World Cup after missing out on hosting the same in 2026.

North America will host the 2026 World Cup after Fifa voters overwhelmingly opted for the financial and logistical certainty of a United States-led bid over a risky Moroccan proposal for the first 48-team tournament.

The soccer showpiece will return to the U.S. for the first time since 1994 after gaining 134 votes, while Morocco got 65 at the Fifa Congress in Moscow on Wednesday.
